Wednesday Web Tool: Interactive Sites for K-5 Education
This week we are highlighting an awesome resource for all elementary teachers. Karen Ogen has created a clean website filled with interactive lessons and simulations for all areas of elementary education. Interactive Learning Sites has categories by subject area and strand with direct links to activities.
To visit Interactive Learning Sites, go to: http://interactivesites.weebly.com/
Once you click on a subject area, you will be taken to a list of topics/objectives to choose from. Here is the current list of science topics:
Clicking on a topic will take you to a grid of interactive websites and games. Here is the grid of interactive activities for the topic of landforms in science:
Karen has put together an amazing resource to share with educators and updates the site on a routine basis.
As with any website that could be considered a "game" by our district internet filter, I would recommend you have a student try to access the resource on a Chromebook or other device to make sure they can access it with our internet filters. If you find a resource that is blocked that you would like to use, you can request it to be unblocked by filling out this brief form.
Thanks to Karen for her hard work in creating Interactive Learning Sites!

Wednesday Web Tool: Newsela, an Amazing News and Non-Fiction Resource for Grades 3-12
Spring is in the air!
That means testing is not far away. Non-fiction reading skills are critically important for students to succeed. This week's resource is FREE and gives access to Lexile leveled non-fiction articles based on current events. Teachers can quickly create classes and assign articles and quizzes to their students.
To get started, visit: http://newsela.com/
Click on the sign in/register link in the top left corner (you can view 4 articles without registering).
Click on the appropriate tab and follow the instructions to register.
Creating classes is super fast and easy, just type in the class name and grade level. You are then given a unique code for each class. Students will use this code to register for their accounts (or you can register for them if desired).
Now you can explore the site, click on one of the categories across the top to view different articles available. Each article is available in different lexile levels and most have quizzes available to check for reading comprehension.
You can easily assign articles to classes by clicking on the button at the top of every article. Click on the binder at the top of the screen to view your classes and assigned articles at a glance. You can see which students have completed the articles and quiz grades. You can download the results as an excel spreadsheet to help with grading and parent documentation.
Please share this information with all of your ELA and Social Studies teachers, this is an amazing free resource for their students.
